Curb Your Enthusiasm follows David as an over-the-top version of himself whose many behavioral annoyances put him in awkward social situations. It ran 80 episodes from 2000-2011, making it the longest-running HBO scripted comedy or drama series, and was nominated for 39 Primetime Emmy Awards, winning twice. It also took home the 2003 Golden Globe for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy.
